I resorted to a Random Number Generator to pick what to read next. And it pulled out this books number.The blurb sounded pretty promising, but I soon as I started it, alarm bells started ringing. I couldn't connect to Evelyn, the protaganist; Meredith was portrayed as manipulative & horrible in a totally stereotypical way...I think this tried to be a Sarah Waters novel...but didn't quite manage it.Who knows, it might suddenly all click into place, but 150 pages in and I just cannot go on.
